These last few weeks I’ve been very busy knitting and crocheting away – but had a few things I couldn’t show because I didn’t know if the recipients read the blog. That means a bumper F.O Post today though.
I’m still keeping up with the LSG Secret Sock Club projects; or what I call my “Year of Socks”. This is officially pair number 8 for the year – August’s Socks. I’ve actually knitted 10 pairs already this year but these were chosen randomly from stash yarn and queued patterns.
After last month’s Broadripple’s turned out too tight I was secretly happy when I pulled the pattern again from the queue. This time I knitted them using 3.0 mm needles and they fit and fit well. I’m debating pulling out the pair I did last month and re-knitting them with the larger needle. We’ll have to see. The yarn is Stylecraft Aviemore and has been in stash since September 2012 according to Ravelry.
Earlier this month I knitted, sewed in a zip and lined a knitted pouch for my friend Angie’s Birthday.
She loves the colour purple, and cats!
While we were at Toft Angie dropped hints about wanting a polar bear of her very own. She’s a fabulous knitter, who I’ve not managed to convert to the dark side of crochet yet so I made her a bear of her very own.
He’s called Edmund and his pattern is from Edwards Menagerie. Again I really really love this book and can’t wait to make some more cuddly creatures – For me this time!
Lastly my HUGE WIP Malgven. I’ve just finished chart B and have 3 more charts to go. I love this, but it requires thinking on every single round. One round contains cable crosses, but then the easy rounds still need counting to keep the knit and purls in the right places. I’m so in love with it but have itchy fingers to cast on something else already!
